The assigned LIC identifies the registered company, not an individual product or device; it can be used across multiple product lines. The cost of an LIC assignment is based upon a company’s gross annual sales and is a one-time fee. There are no recurring costs to maintain your global LIC registration with HIBCC.
Once you have been assigned an LIC, your company can begin to create identifiers at multiple packaging levels, depending upon the required granularity of identification necessary, utilizing the HIBC Supplier Labeling Standard (SLS).
Organizations applying for a HIBCC Labeler Identification Code (LIC) are required to complete the authorized application form on this website (below). This requirement is for quality control purposes and to assure the labeler information that we provide to regulatory authorities is accurate and derived from the original applicant. LIC application information obtained indirectly from other sources or via email will be considered invalid until validated from the HIBCC application form. Please contact HIBCC immediately at info@hibcc.org if you believe your LIC assignment may be invalid.
